Lottie knew the minute she saw Russell Fabray’s face, she needed to get Marley out of there and quick. She led her girlfriend to the choir room, hoping that they were far away from the gym and pulled her towards the piano. “Is it bad that I want to request a Marley Rose original and stay in here forever, where it’s just the two of us? Also have I told you that you look absolutely beautiful in that dress?”

Marley was thankful when Lottie pulled her away from the emotional turmoil that was bound to unfold at the reunion now with some unwanted guests showing their faces. She wanted no part of it and honestly she wanted alone time with her girlfriend anyway. It’d been too long since they had seen each other. “Not bad at all,” she hummed with a smile as she brought her hands up to cup Lottie’s face gently. “I would much prefer alone time with you.

“I’m sure you have but I never tire of hearing it.” Marley said as she gave Lottie a once over, shaking her head. “And you look stunning, as always.” Gazing into her brown eyes, Marley’s stomach was a flutter. “I missed you a lot y’know,” she said gently, leaning in to kiss the other’s lips slowly. 

I would tell Marley from ten years ago to be more transparent. Life gets a lot easier when you're transparent-- saying how you feel is really important.

The first time I was on stage and I stoped singing but the entire crowd was singing my lyrics right back at me-- I legitimately cried on stage it was so surreal.

I try to not have any regrets-- I do wish I would've been more confident ten years ago and more willing to be myself. However, the past ten years as a whole have been a dream.

Marley Jade Rose- Future Week

Residing in California, Marley is currently working on her sixth studio album thorns - a cheeky nod to her last name that she is very proud of - which is to be released next year.

It’s nothing but the truth.

Did you end up enjoying yourself?

🌹 

Well it made me blush nonetheless. 

Wonderful.  I hope you have a really great time at the party Marley.  You deserve it.  I’d volunteer my help, but I’m not there.  And as we’ve previously discussed I’m probably the least artistic of my family.  I hope you managed to get it finished though.

It was… an interesting, but fun night.  I think Sebastian had fun attempting to be an angel, and I channeled my inner Lucifer.  

🌹

I managed to get it finished and it was a hit. I’m very proud of the way it turned out-- I wish you could’ve seen it in person. You definitely would’ve been proud.

That’s creative and I mean, I love a good word pun, so I look forward to pictures, if here are any.

Personally, I will be at home, on my couch, in a onesie. Which onesie, I’m not sure, I’ll decide when it happens.

🌹

Thank you! I am pretty proud of how it turned out and everyone else seemed to like it as well. 

Maman’s show itself was good. What happened at it I could have done without and I haven’t entirely been sleeping, so there’s that. Not been a great time, overall, honestly.

While it’s appreciated, it’s unnecessary.

🌹

Oh no, what happened...?

STÉ: We do.

STÉ: It's been weird, to be honest. Although my trip is probably a lot better, by a lot, than my sisters. That in and of itself has contributed to the weirdness.

STÉ: It feels like it is/was.

STÉ: That's understandable. I knew I'd feel worse if I didn't come back, didn't attend Maman's opening. And I'd been looking forward to turning 30 for so long that I had to do something. Those two events have both recharged and drained me both though. But as much as I love Reagan and as much I was looking forward to the Masquerade, I don't have the energy to survive it in me.

STÉ: No, absolutely. We can talk, we can be friends while you figure yourself out. Does that mean we, as anything else, are in a holding pattern while that happens? Or is it not a thing and we start over, if that's something we both want later. How do you see it?

Marley: Weird how?

Marley: I'm sorry it feels that way for you.

Marley: That's also understandable.

Marley: Happy belated birthday, by the way. Did you and Sebastian have a good time at at least?

Marley: The truth?

I’m really excited to announce that I’ve got a spot open in a showcase in one of the museums in Columbus featuring up and coming artists. I’ve been anxiously awaiting this confirmation for months now and now that I’ve got it I can actually go forward with that piece I was wanting to do with you all. Yes, it’s the one I was talking about with painting your bodies and having you lay on the canvas. That being said, when it’s all said and done, if anyone wants to come to the actual showcase to see the art you helped me create in action, I’d be happy to pass on those invites! 

🌹

Mathias this is so exciting!! My offer to help is still standing! I dunno if I’m comfortable enough yet to have my body painted or not but I’ll definitely help and definitely come to the showcase! 

It had been a while since Marley had been in such a large group setting, especially since she’d been outed. She’d kind of curled in on herself since it happened and only had been around her family, Sky, and Stevie mostly. She hadn’t been feeling like herself, trying to figure out who she even really was now that everything was out.

But she wanted to celebrate Reagan and Jason and thought it might be good for her to get out and actually interact with other people.

Even still, when she arrived at the party, other than the attention she’d gotten for her costume, Marley still kind of kept to herself off to the side. She watched everyone as they drank and had a good time, smiling to herself. Just then she decided to get herself a drink but when she turned she ran right into Charlotte with her fairy wings. “Oh my god, I’m so sorry,” she giggled, shaking her head. “I’m not used to the size of these wings.” Marley gave her a once over and was a little taken by her costume and gorgeous she looked in it. “Wow, you look incredible,” 

Marley Rose Masquerade Costume - Confectionfairy

I’m sure you’ll look stunning.

It’s still in the works. Well, I’m more so between two costumes. Do I want to go the standard route and do Batman, maybe another superhero, or do something scary? I was thinking Jason Voorhees.

🌹

Thanks, Hunter. That’s really sweet.

Wait– you can make pixy stix?! 

It sounds like anyone who’s anyone is gonna be there, for sure. Nah, I think I’m gonna go classic this year and go as a ghost. I already cut the holes outta my sheets.

🌹

Of course! It wouldn’t be real..but I could get a small PVC pipe and paint it. Which might be cuter than a real one anyway.

STÉ: I always will.

STÉ: Yeah, I guess. Especially here in Paris.

STÉ: It was my fault anyway.

STÉ: Assuming you've figured out where you are when I get back. Unless you have already.

Marley: Well then we at least have that to look forward to.

Marley: Yeah.

Marley: It wasn't your fault...

Marley: I doubt it. I imagine it'll be a while before I feel like myself again. If that ever happens. I feel a little lost. The halloween party is the first time I'll be going out really since everything happened.

Okay cool, I dig puns. This confection-fairy thing kinda sounds like the Sugar Plum Fairy from that one show with the ballet and the rats. But y’know, just replace the plums with like, cupcakes. I am, like, chock full of amazing ideas.

Hell yeah, if there’s a party to be had, T-Chang’s gonna be there.

🌹

Me too! Puns are one of my love languages for sure. The Nutcracker is what you’re thinking of and, yeah, it’s kind of like that! Cupcakes and candy of all kinds. Clearly and I’m definitely gonna go out and look for one of those giant pixie sticks for a wand-- or I might just make it myself..
